National Letter of Intent Signing Day is Wednesday for football, soccer, track and field, cross country, men’s water polo and field hockey.
OCVarsity.com and the Register will provide non-stop coverage of the big signings of the day, but we could use your help. If you know of a school’s plans for Signing Day events — or, perhaps, if a group of athletes is having a Signing Day event that’s not at school — please email us at preps@ocregister.com with the details.
Mater Dei hit seven 3-point shots in the 1st quarter, propelling them to an easy 86-71 victory over St. John Bosco.
The Monarchs Katin Reinhardt finished with 22 points in the game, hitting a number of NBA range treys in the 1st quarter, while teammate Xavier Johnson scored 23 points, despite both being ill throughout the week.

And there it is.
My weeklong journey through the county wrestling scene came to an end Friday night with the annual Calvary Chapel-Santa Ana dual, otherwise known as the Iron Sharpens Iron Classic.
This dual is more than takedowns and near falls. Calvary and Santa Ana are more like brothers in arms. There is a deep level of respect between the programs. It is impressive.
Here is how Friday went down.
And I thought last year was impressive: When you cover Santa Ana-Calvary Chapel, you have to be ready for a show. This year’s was better.
SANTA ANA – Century coach Bruce Silverman was out to teach his boys soccer team a lesson even if it cost the Centurions a shot at the Orange League championship.
Mater Dei water polo player Bret Bonanni, The Register’s two-time player of the year, is on a recruiting trip this weekend to UCLA, Monarchs coach Chris Segesman said Friday night.
Bonanni visited Stanford earlier this month. UCLA and Stanford are considered to be the finalists to land arguably the best high school player in the nation and one of the top recruits to come out of Orange County.
“He seems pretty comfortable,” Segesman said of Bonanni’s mood toward recruiting.
Bonanni’s father said Friday night that his son expects to announce his decision on National Signing Day on Wednesday. Mater Dei is hosting a signing day ceremony on Wednesday morning.
So, which school will Bonanni chose? Will be follow the footsteps of Olympian Tony Azevedo — a player he has been compared to — and head to The Farm to play for former Corona del Mar coach John Vargas or join a few of his former Mater Dei teammates and Southern California buds and pick UCLA?
Francisco Camacho scored two goals to help host Kennedy upset No. 2 Valencia, 2-0, and Friday.
Mission Viejo junior safety Max Redfield added another scholarship offer on Thursday: Notre Dame.
USC was the first school to offer Redfield.
Diablos coach Bob Johnson said Redfield also has offers from UCLA, Oregon and Washington.
